15 claims

Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

2

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the image data comprises one or more of a position or orientation of an image sensor relative to the autonomous vehicle used to capture an image included in the image data.

3

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the concatenated representation comprises a first feature included in the image feature representation in a first channel and a second feature from the top-down representation in a second channel of a multi-channel image.

4

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the additional sensor data comprises one or more of radar data, lidar data, time of flight data, or map data.

6

6. The method of claim 5, wherein receiving the predicted behavior comprises receiving a prediction probability associated with the predicted behavior.

7

7. The method of claim 5, wherein the first portion of the machine-learned model comprises a neural network encoder and a neural network decoder.

9

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the first image is captured at a first time and the second image is captured at a second time after the first time.

10

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the first camera and the second camera are a same camera.

11

11. The method of claim 5, wherein the first data comprises a first multi-channel representation and the second data comprises a second multi-channel representation.

12

12. The method of claim 5, wherein the object is a vehicle, and the predicted behavior of the vehicle comprises one or more of a stay-in-lane action, a turn action, or a lane change action.

14

14. The one or more computer-readable media of claim 13, wherein receiving the predicted behavior comprises receiving a prediction probability associated with the predicted behavior.

15

15. The one or more computer-readable media of claim 13, wherein the first portion of the machine-learned model comprises a neural network encoder and a neural network decoder.

17

17. The one or more computer-readable media of claim 16, wherein the first image is captured at a first time and the second image is captured at a second time after the first time.

18

18. The one or more computer-readable media of claim 17, wherein the first camera and the second camera are a same camera.

19

19. The one or more computer-readable media of claim 13, wherein the first data comprises a first multi-channel representation and the second data comprises a second multi-channel representation.

20

20. The one or more computer-readable media of claim 13, wherein the predicted behavior comprises an image representation of behavior, a pixel of the image representation of behavior associated with a probability the object will occupy a corresponding position in the environment.
